So, I was in a car accident yesterday morning. I was completely unharmed physically (or so I think/feel, to your point, Yoda), but it has messed with my head in a proper dystopian way. There was a lot of admin and I got a kind of a welfare check call today which freaked me out. I’m back to work today though I was offered time off because I know I’d be watching something inappropriately depressing in bed otherwise, and how is that helpful?
Nothing happened per se, but I feel numb and profoundly weird on every level. I also have all sorts of what they call ‘intrusive thoughts’ which aren’t really appropriate for any medium except my shrink.
Always feel all these ‘80s car-themed horror films miss the mark/the point a bit, much as I like them. I’d be interested to dig up something like Skinamarink approach-wise that tries to imitate how it feels to be inside a moving vehicle and the peculiar disorientation associated with that (I’m sure that’s the sort of thing Dashcam was aiming for, though it failed spectacularly imo).
My boss told me to tell a select group of people about the crash yesterday, so that ‘if I snapped at them during office hours, they knew why’. I don’t really snap at people, but I guess that’s sensible advice, though now I feel strange as everyone asks how I’m feeling etc.
Not sure what my point is, but I guess if anyone has any thoughts about any of the above, be that car accidents or films with car POVs, they are welcome.
